Fujikura introduces new Fibre
Recoater Series
Fujikura is introducing a new series of Fujikura fibre recoaters the FSR-05, FSR-06 and FSR-07. The recoaters feature easy-toexchange moulds for common coating sizes including 196 µm,
255 µm, 280 µm, 450 µm, 670 µm and 1,000 µm. All recoaters
consist of a programmable resin injection quantity and colored
and non-colored fibre recoating capability. The FSR-06 and FSR07 recoaters include proof testers to test the strength of fibre
after recoating.
The FSR-05 recoater is the only model without a proof tester and is ideal for manufacturers that
don’t require constant proof testing after each recoat. The FSR-06 model includes a proof tester
with a linear clamping system for devices in which confirmation of reliability is required. The FSR-07
includes a mandrel proof tester and is ideal for reliability proof testing as well as tension testing to
failure. All fibre recoaters feature automatic and easy operation as well as easy mould and recoat
material exchange. Additionally, the recoaters include a PC interface via USB. Compatible with special
recoating compound, the recoaters provide a higher stiffness recoating of 900 µm jacketed fibres.

ODU-MAC® now
offers even higher
performance!
ODU now offers the entire compressed air and fluid
range of ODU-MAC with higher flow rates and/or
high operating pressure. The electrical connector
technology specialists’ in-house development and
production increase the flow rate for the compressed
air valves by approximately 20 percent, while the
operating pressure for the fluid modules is boosted by
ten bar (145 PSI). Customers in fields ranging from
industrial and measurement technology, to testing
engineering and medical technology will benefit from
an expanded range of applications and at least 100,000 guaranteed mating cycles. Examples include use in shock
wave therapy devices in which tailor-made ODU-MAC connector fluid contacts are installed. High contact security,
wide range of modules, robust design and versatile solution possibilities are available specific to this connector. The
new modules are also 100 percent plug-compatible with the previous versions and are available as one or two-pin
compressed air modules, or as a two-pin fluid coupling module. The customer can choose between a shut-off and
a non-shut-off version. Further information on the company and the ODU-MAC modular rectangular connector
series can be found at www.odu.de.
